Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 136 Terrorist Portrait Gallery
After striking a deal with curator Joseph Murcott, Catherine and Wren wandered the gallery, looking for anomalies.

"Ren, are you sure what you feel is right? There is something wrong with that painting? I just made a swearing promise. If you screw up, I will beat you up. My sister's mission success rate is 95%!"

Catherine asked with her sexy pink lips slightly parted.

Ren said solemnly: "Trust me, a man's intuition!"

Generally speaking, the items entrusted by the wraiths will have obvious spiritual reactions.

In fact, the sky-blue demon hunting ring in his hand is not only a token of the demon hunter, but also has the function of detecting psychic reactions.

The Lord of the Rings is made of "Ocean Stone". Whenever there is a second kind of spiritual power besides the wearer nearby, the color of the pattern on the ring will become darker.

But this time the situation in the gallery was very strange.

It seems that there is no problem with every painting, even the priests of the Guangming Church can't sense it!

The church divides extraordinary power into two aspects: holy power and evil power.According to the church, what is inside the wraith is evil energy.

Father Jemini of Kobshen City checked every painting, but found nothing.

"Da, da, da da..."

The footsteps of Ryan and Catherine echoed in the empty art gallery.

The two walked along the classical and beautiful corridor, and gradually walked to the corner of the painting wall.

The paintings here are all recently collected or are the works of some down-and-out artists funded by Joseph.

In all fairness, these new paintings all have their own characteristics. After the artist dies, a few decades later, after a few decades of bragging and marketing, they may be treasures!

"The paintings here are the most suspicious." Ren said softly.

Catherine put her hands on her waist, and her tone was very impatient: "Nonsense, doesn't my sister know? The priest also knows, but nothing was found!"

Ryan shrugged and pointed to a self-portrait on the wall.

In the portrait is a young man with a handsome face, blond curly hair, and blue eyes, about 30 years old.

It was a bust of him wearing a little blue suit with no tie and a white shirt underneath.

With melancholy eyes, a slightly decadent expression, and free and easy attire, an image of a talented but rather down-and-out young man emerges vividly on the paper.

"Yo, handsome little brother, he must be very popular with those ladies who are dignified and elegant on the surface, but are actually dissolute and vulgar.

Too bad it's not to my taste, what's wrong with this painting? "Catherine yawned and said casually.

"Yes, this is the painting entrusted by the resentful spirit."

Ren looked at the painting carefully. When he passed by here to meet Joseph, he felt something was wrong.

The "star energy" in the body faintly fluctuated.

Catherine frowned, let out a slight snort, and reached out to touch the portrait:
"It's normal, it feels like an ordinary self-portrait."

Her white palms, like fat and beautiful jade, shone with a crimson light, and strands of streamer-like light slowly poured into the portrait.

At this moment, the semi-closed portrait gallery had a dim view, and Catherine's snow-white cheeks were flushed like a little drunk in the brilliance of psionic power, making her look very charming and charming.

For a long while, there was no special reaction, and the still self-portrait seemed to be mocking the two of them.

Catherine was finally a little embarrassed and ashamed, staring at Ren:

"What are you looking at?! Want to sleep with me? It's late! My sister doesn't eat grass by the side of the nest.

Kid, are you awake? There is nothing wrong with this painting!My psionic energy has scorching and radiant attributes. If there are really wraiths in it, even evil spirits (second-order) level will not be completely unresponsive! "

Ren snorted disdainfully, and unceremoniously reached out to pull Catherine's golden hair.

He slowly pulled her back from the portrait: "A woman with big breasts and no brains! Get out of the way, let me come!"

He took two steps forward, and the Dou Qi was transferred to the palm of his right hand.

Catherine was about to blame, but saw that the light around Ren's body was slightly dim, like a night sky.

Immediately afterwards, tiny fluorescent lights as small as grains of dust emerged one by one, surrounding Renn like a faint galaxy of light.

This scene, just like the stars shining in the deep night sky, in the cold and lonely darkness, there is a faint light, which symbolizes the ray of life in the desert.

This is the air of stars, the mysterious power of the sublimated air of life.

It can only be seen clearly in a dimly lit environment.

A gleam flashed in Catherine's beautiful eyes. The spiritual energy in some people may be very similar, but none are exactly the same.

She is very sure that this is not a simple "psychic power"!
Although it doesn't look very strong now, it is hard to say in the future.

At this moment, she felt the power of this "spiritual energy" up close, and was shocked by the vast mystery of the energy of the stars.

Ren injected both psychic characteristics and a very different grudge into the portrait. At first, nothing unusual happened.

But Ren could feel that a small part of his grudge had been swallowed up, while more of it was floating in the painting.

after awhile.

Many black geometric figures appear in the frame of the portrait, and dark red runes are densely covered in the background of the characters.

Moreover, there is also a vague and terrifying shadow looming behind the man in the painting.

The cold air reverberated in the corridor, and the cold breeze blew in from the half-closed skylight, and some strange sounds began to appear, which were neither crying nor laughing, not like human voices.

"Hee Ka... 嘎, &#￥%々&"

The indistinct voice was intermittent, as if it sounded from the darkest corner of the person's heart.

The entire portrait gallery looked very eerie in this hoarse whisper.

Catherine's complexion changed, and she pulled out the Demon Hunter 5-style long knife (Tachi style), the sharp blade glowed red, and her expression became serious:

"Ren, stop first."

Ren heard the words and immediately withdrew his fighting spirit.

The dark red runes in the background of the portrait and the black stripes on the border quickly disappeared, and after a while, all the visions disappeared, as if what was just now was an illusion.

"What's going on?" Ren was very calm, without fear at all.

Catherine put the witcher knife back into the sheath and put it in the sheath on the black leather pants:

"The wraith in the portrait is nothing in itself. It hasn't advanced into an evil spirit yet, so it's nothing to be afraid of, but..."

With an uncertain expression, Catherine spit out slowly:

"I'm afraid this was deliberately designed by someone. Someone is cultivating spirits. There are two magic formulas or two witch formations in the portrait.

On the frame is the spirit sealing array, which can conceal the fluctuation of spiritual energy. On the drawing of the portrait is a small spirit devouring array, which can devour and store some spiritual energy.

The key is to design very delicately.

It is easy for different spells or witch formations to interfere with each other, but this portrait does not, so it can be seen that the methods behind the scenes are also very clever..."

After her explanation, Ryan realized that the water was deep.

Some people are deliberately cultivating resentful spirits.

A low-level wraith is nothing in itself, and even an "evil spirit" may not be able to do anything to him and Catherine, unless it is a fierce spirit (third-level) that can threaten them.

However, it would be different if someone manipulated all of this.

The man behind the scenes is very cunning. The two witch formations on the portrait are superimposed, one hides the fluctuation of spiritual energy, and the other swallows a small amount of spiritual energy.

The two witch formations perfectly suppressed or covered up the wraith in the portrait.

And if the inspectors don't want to destroy the works of art in the portrait gallery, they will inevitably carefully inject a small amount of spiritual energy into the inspection.

And these people, such as Father Jemini and Catherine just now, have their spiritual energy collected by the small spirit devouring array, so they will not stimulate the wraith in the portrait.

So they were all kept in the dark.

It's just that Ren's star energy has both psionic attributes and some essential differences.

The energy of the stars is difficult to be completely absorbed by the witch formation arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes, so the wraiths in the portrait were alarmed, otherwise they probably would have gotten nothing this time!
"It's amazing, and it understands people's hearts well. The location is also very good. The Dale Portrait Gallery is full of valuable paintings. If you can't determine the entrusted objects, you can't burn them all." Ren said coldly.

Catherine's face was a little ugly, this matter is very difficult:

"There is a high probability that they are people from the dark camp. Our enemies are not only descendants of demons, but also many extraordinary people who have gone astray or fallen.

Typical representatives are wizards (usually male) and witches.and……"

The opponent can arrange two different witch arrays in one painting without causing interference and rejection. This method is at least an expert level (third level).

The spell and the witch array are similar things. The old goat is a warlock profession. He is currently the peak third-level [Spirit Gathering Warlock], and he dare not say that he can do it [-]%.

The point is that there is too little information.

Ryan and Catherine then asked Joseph, the owner of the museum, about the origin of the self-portrait with the ghost hidden.

As a result, Joseph told him that his men bought it from a woman wearing a black veil.

The two looked at each other and decided to immediately go to the acquirer named John Harkers.

John worked for the Murcott Chamber of Commerce, founded by Joseph Murcott, owner of the Portrait Gallery.

Recently, he was on sick leave and lived in Room 6C, Building B, Billy Street, east of the city.

There is no doubt that John, who acquired the portrait, is suspicious.

Recently, he always asks for sick leave. Although Catherine speculates that John is probably just being used, but he himself may know some key news.

Joseph hurriedly called to Ren and Catherine, very puzzled:
"Wait, since you know there is something wrong with that self-portrait, why don't you just destroy it?"

Catherine sneered:
"Mr. Joseph, I regret to tell you that you have been used by others, and that wraith is just a small fish.

This matter can no longer be solved by destroying a painting! "

"Leave it to us, Mr. Joseph, this matter is more complicated than you think. If you don't want to die, you should not come here anytime soon." Ren said lightly.

Joseph's face was pale and his body trembled.

As a businessman, he has already seen that with his vicious eyes, Ren and Catherine didn't joke with him.

Wisely, he didn't ask any further questions, so Joseph quickly packed up his things, and led the people out of the portrait gallery in a hurry.

Before leaving, he gave Catherine the key to the Dale Gallery.

He is old and mature, and the businessman's keen sense of smell made him realize that something big happened.

Ren and Catherine headed towards Billy Street in the east of the city, planning to find Mr. John who bought the portrait.
